2. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   Close-up of a disc brake on a Renault car. A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) [1] to create friction. [2] There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent [further explanation needed] friction. [3]

3. Rotating unbalance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_unbalance

   A static balance (sometimes called a force balance [2] [3]) occurs when the inertial axis of a rotating mass is displaced from and parallel to the axis of rotation.Static unbalances can occur more frequently in disk-shaped rotors because the thin geometric profile of the disk allows for an uneven distribution of mass with an inertial axis that is nearly parallel to the axis of rotation.

4. Disk loading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_loading

   In fluid dynamics, disk loading or disc loading is the average pressure change across an actuator disk, such as an airscrew. Airscrews with a relatively low disk loading are typically called rotors, including helicopter main rotors and tail rotors ; propellers typically have a higher disk loading. [ 1 ]

5. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Also, disc brakes use much the same materials and operate well with little fade, even when the discs are glowing hot. If brake materials outgassed at drum temperatures, they would also outgas at disc temperatures and would fade substantially. Since discs have little fade, they also demonstrate outgassing is not a source of fade.

6. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   The brake pad and disc (now both having the friction material), then "stick" to each other, providing the friction that stops the vehicle. In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers ...

   All bike rotors are cross-drilled, reducing the build up of gasses which can affect braking performance, and it also helps to keep both the pads and the rotor cooler, by increasing the surfac area they have to cool down. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.19.153.145 (talk • contribs) .
